Hello All!

I was wondering if there is a way to collect windows services status, instead of only the actual processes.....

Thanks in advance,  
Daniel

There is currently no way to collect this information. Could you please open an enhancement request for this feature in the [Github repo](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new).

You might be able to collect this info using the community maintained [wmibeat](https://github.com/eskibars/wmibeat) (I'd like to bring this wmi feature into metricbeat).
